Health
Even though the pandemic is behind us, it’s left us with a heightened perception of how cleaning impacts health and safety.

Inventory
As supply chain delays continue, many businesses are stocking up on supplies when they can access them. Buying in bulk can help save money, and better manage inventory to stay on top of sanitation needs, provide staff with peace of mind, and avoid delays in supplies. Keeping your storage area organized can help you avoid over-buying or duplicating your supplies.
From building managers to janitorial staff to commercial cleaners, these trends are an indication of where the commercial cleaning industry is headed for 2023.
